Anyone interested in shooting locomotives at night?

That sounds like fun! But get a jump on it & shoot earlier, too, because some of the best "night shots" I've seen were taken before it's totally dark while there's still some light left in the sky. You don't need much, but you need some.
Look at the difference between the first & 2nd shots here: Ships at Dusk

Night at the Museum

Yes I agree. Railfest runs all weekend, and the scheduled night shoot will start at about 8:30, but everyone will have run of the grounds all day long. The trains will be running their full routes all day, with many datime shoots planned over bridges, etc.. I'm really only involved with the night shoot though, but the whole event is going to be really fun.

wish i could be there, i really like steam engines, got a few of their old whistles here my grandfather gave me.

wish I could but a bit too far and I have an unpredictable schedule mostly.

Man, wish I could. I'm just a couple hours away, too.

All sounds good except the 900 mile drive.

Ha! I'd say jump a train and find your way down here.. but you'd probably need to do that tonight.

Been there, done that. It is a very nice trip by train. Unfortunately, I have a prior commitment for the weekend. Would be nice to hit the third leg of the American Heritage Railway Group. GSMRR is just down the road from here and I did the D&S on the great train safari of 2009.

And I'm an ocean away...........otherwi​se tempting

What a oppertunity, shooting night shots, trains, Todd Lambert, what else could one ask for?
